- Hi,
- I wrote a rexx pgm under OS/2 2.0 using charout and pull functions to prompt
- and accept input from user. and it works great under 2.0, but under 1.3 it
- behaves oddly. instead of the cursor being at the end of the text written
- out with charout() while pull() waits for user to hit enter key, the cursor
- skips a couple of lines, outputs a "?" and then waits for user to hit enter
- key. I vaguely remember from years ago that a ":" at the end of the prompt
- text would get around this problem, but i tried that and it made no difference
- Can anyone tell me how to fix this so it will run under 1.3 nicely?
- (PS i also replaced charout with "say" and the same results occurred)
- Below is an extract of one of my prompts from my pgm.
- thanks,
- Jay keck

- "@echo off"
- do queued(); pull .;end;
- call charout "STDOUT:","is is this correct profile?(Y/N) ==> "
- pull response
